The Neo-Futurists are a collective of wildly productive writer/director/performers who create theater that is a fusion of sport, poetry, and living-newspaper. The Neo-Futurist's non-illusory, interactive performances convey experiences and ideas as directly and honestly as possible. They explain, "We embrace those unreached or unmoved by conventional theater - inspiring them to thought, feeling, and action".
The Neo-Futurists, founded in 1988, has grown to become one of the most highly regarded experimental theater companies in the country, offering annual seasons of adventurous, smart, interactive theater. Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind, with its ever-changing "menu," is an attempt to perform 30 plays in 60 minutes. Each short play is written by a performer, honed by the ensemble, and randomly collaged with twenty-nine other plays through high-energy audience participation. Each night of performance, the company creates an unreproducable living newspaper collage of the comic and tragic, the political and personal, and the visceral and experimental.
The Neo-Futurists presented two performances of Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind on April 14 and 15, 2006, in the UH Dudley Recital Hall.
